Carol Smith, campaigns officer for the PDS in Wales said: "We are clear that there is a very real need to provide a Parkinson's Disease nurse specialist in the Cwm Taf area to ensure there is the support available for people with Parkinson's.

The PDS will fund the first two years of every new post, so we want health providers across Wales to engage with us now to redesign their Parkinson's services and introduce Parkinson's Disease Nurse Specialist posts.
